But Animar can be answered by targeted removal of the Red (Chaos Warp, burn before the counters arrive), Blue (Pongify effects, Imprisoned in the Moon, stealing, bounce), and Green (Beast Within, Desert Twister, Song of the Dryads, etc)

In the past, The List has mostly been reprints of older cards

The #235 version features Spidey web-thwipping against a stylized city backdrop, with sharp black inking of the black suit, with even the textured foil adding depth to the suits web pattern and reflective highlights to the background, making the card look almost like a tiny hardcover cover
There are also some notable reprints in the deck, including Commander's Plate, Shadowsper, Embercleave, and Chandra's Ignition
